Selden Market and Lightbeam Solutions are excited to invite you to participate in our upcoming Mental Health Resources Fair — a dynamic event dedicated to connecting mental wellness providers, practitioners, businesses, and the community in Downtown Norfolk and across the greater 757 region.
Purpose of the Event:
The Mental Health Resources Fair aims to address the growing concerns surrounding mental health, substance abuse, and opioid addictions in our community. These issues contribute to local crime, unemployment, physical health problems, homelessness, and socioeconomic challenges. By bringing together resource providers, we seek to promote networking, discussion, and collaborative efforts to provide direct support and resources.
What to Expect:
Participating providers will have the opportunity to set up booths where they can display their resources and services. This offers a chance for providers to network and for the public to become aware of available resources.
Throughout the day, Lightbeam Solutions will conduct interviews with the participating resource providers to offering further exposure and support.
Event Highlights:
• Networking Opportunities with fellow providers, wellness businesses, and community leaders
• Talk-Back Discussions centered around mental health innovation, community wellness, and resource building
• Content Stations featuring live activations, service highlights, and community engagement activities
• Resource Showcases allowing businesses and practitioners to present their services directly to the public
This is more than a traditional fair — it’s a collaborative space for dialogue, exposure, and meaningful connections aimed at strengthening the mental health ecosystem in our region.
Who Should Participate:
• Licensed mental health practitioners (therapists, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists)
• Wellness-focused businesses (yoga studios, meditation centers, holistic health providers)
• Mental health nonprofits and advocacy organizations
• Community resource providers (employment, housing, financial wellness, etc.)
• Community nonprofits organizations
This event provides a valuable platform to engage with fellow providers, donors, and community members passionate about combating mental health and substance abuse issues.
